Demonstrate a file renaming Exposé bug

When renaming any file on the desktop and using the "Show Desktop" feature of Exposé, the name field for the file will fly out to the side like any regular application window. Quick procedure to reproduce:
- Press F11
- Command-tab to the Finder
- Click once on a desktop file to select it.
- Press Enter to rename the selected file on the desktop
- Without pressing Enter, hit F11 twice
Really useless and kind of stupid ... hopefully someone can/has reported this to Apple.
[robg adds: We don't normally run bugs as hints, but this one's actually kinda funny. For those of you who don't have Panther, I made a very short movie showing the effect. Hopefully they'll squash this one in a minor update sometime soon...]
